This whole if you don’t like it, go somewhere else is an unbelievably stupid mantra that I’ve seen conservatives push for years. It sounds nice and all but then you figure that getting a new job isn’t exactly easy. It’s simple. HL should keep their religious beliefs out of what their employees do off the clock. If the owners of HL want to believe that contraception is wrong, that’s one thing, they don’t have to use it themselves but when health plans cover contraception, they need to deal with that.

As a poster on another board I’m on noted, the only reason HL brought this as a “religious rights” case is because if they’d brought it as the political case it is, with them objecting to being forced to change policies to be ACA-compliant, the case would have been thrown out.

A company that happens to be a big employer in a town, with few other competitors or options, decides to chop its health care insurance policies coverages on religious grounds.
It will no longer provide coverage for the following:
1) Viagra (promotes extramarital affairs in contra to religious beliefs);
2) birth control - all forms (same as 1);
3) transfusions and other blood products (violates religious beliefs);
4) refuses to cover any ailment stemming from consumption of shellfish or pork; etc.
Your options, as an employee in these circumstances? Find another job? At the same kind of employer? Good luck - no options. That means you’ll take a pay cut to work somewhere else.
But more to the point, you, as the employee, are paying the insurance premiums on your policy. It’s your policy that was obtained through the employer. The employer benefits from your good health. If you’re unable to obtain the insurance, you’re less well off economically and physically. That undermines the company’s long term fiscal health too.
And yet, the right wing is trying to claim that for-profit corporations have the right to impose their religious beliefs on their employees through the benefits that the employee pays for.

Pretty much. Their pre-ACA plan covered the four contraceptives they now say they view as abortificants and have a religious aversion to, and they say that dropping insurance for their employees would be a “burden” on them because of their religious beliefs but don’t offer that insurance to their part-time employees in the first place.
As a poster on another board I’m on noted, the only reason HL brought this as a “religious rights” case is because if they’d brought it as the political case it is, with them objecting to being forced to change policies to be ACA-compliant, the case would have been thrown out.
Sleazy fucks.

Christian billionaire owner.
Many of the gals that have worked at the HL near me have seemed to be of the “work release” personality. I think they disproportionately hire under educated, marginal type women. Women who probably really need birth control.

So, if you have no insurance, are you going to pay for that transfusion?

What if you need the job, and there are few other jobs you can easily travel to?

re: #94 lawhawk
That’s the problem though. It used to be that your good health and morale was considered a valuable thing for the employer, because employers in this country used to give a damn about their employees.
Then the oligarchs took over.
I have a pretty well-publicized dislike of the phrase “human resources”. Humans are not a resource. They are people. Modern American businesses see employees as nothing more than liabilities. They are a source of negative revenue. There is a pervasive belief among the executive class of this country that the work magically does itself, and employees are just these weird, smelly people that show up to the building that you have to pay every now and again. When the employees don’t show up, the work doesn’t do itself, so you have to have employees… but surely they’re not the ones doing the work.
It is, at its very basic core, a hostile relationship. It is a relationship based in adversarial tension. Nobody below the executive level in a major company likes their boss. And no boss in a major company likes their employees. It’s toxic, it’s wrong, and it’s unsustainable.
This is why the people must be kept desperate and low on options. If they had any actual choice, if they weren’t constantly filled with desperation and fear of losing everything, they wouldn’t put up with this bullshit.
